Everyone loves OLD BAY. Especially me. The ads we created for the iconic seafood seasoning have won four National Addys in the last three years. And a slew of regional and local awards. Here’s a look at some of my favorites.
The “Excite Your Seafood” campaign ran up and down the East Coast, targeting seafood lovers with digital banners, outdoor, a landing page — and a really cool food truck.
OLD BAY was born in Baltimore in 1939. To celebrate the brand’s 75th anniversary, we created television/online video, outdoor, an airport takeover, newspaper, and digital components. The theme we created, “The can that connects us,” spoke to those in Baltimore and beyond with a fierce love for the seasoning.
